Garafolo added that Gore has already begun training for his 16th NFL season -- working out with LeSean McCoy, who will also be looking for a new place of employment. Turning 37 years old in May, Gore rushed for 599 yards and two touchdowns on 166 carries in 16 games with the Buffalo Bills in 2019, adding eight carries for 22 yards in the playoffs. A perennial 1,000-yard rusher in his younger days with the San Francisco 49ers, Gore sits at third all-time in NFL rushing yards with 15,347, passing Barry Sanders this year. The running back would need to play several more seasons at his current pace to reach Emmitt Smith at 18,355.
